[POLL] How many hours of Olympics will you watch per day?

[orangeman 2,284]

I have the first half week of competition off work (Wed-Wed), but I have a travel day in there and will be EST (New York). Will watch as much as possible.

 

After that, at work and CST (-2 from NY). Swim/Athletic finals line up with lunch break mostly, but will rely on delayed stream unfortunately. Will do my best on 2nd and 3rd weekends to watch live. 

 

The last the 4 OG (Rio, Pyeongchang, Tokyo, Beijing) I either lived in or +/- 1 hour of the host. I'm actually currently in Paris' time zone (in Africa) but will leave next week.

I’ve already gone through the schedule and prioritized events because time will be more tight and tv less accessible when I’m in France for the events I’m not seeing in person. Probably will have to focus on highlights and replays. Otherwise being in EST should make most of the medal events easy to watch in the first half of the games.

 

Excited to watch: swimming, athletics, rugby, skateboarding, sport climbing of course, and I’m optimistic about breaking and might walk to Concorde to see the vibes. Specific events as well: triathlon relay, cycling time trials, mountain biking, equestrian eventing, I like a spread out event with some good b-roll opportunities.

 

Will tune out wrestling, tennis, golf, shooting, boxing.

No special preferences, I will try as usual to arrange my schedule to watch as much finals as possible. For the full integrated program I guess it will be again for the usual Athletics and Canoe Slalom

This is generally how I watch the Olympics and other multi-sports games too

Only thing that prevented me from picking the 11+ hours option is the time zone difference. I might do a test run the first couple of days to see how well I can manage with little sleep.

 

In terms of events I'm looking forward to watching, I'll divide this into 3 parts to make it easier.

 

Swimming:

• Men's 100m Freestyle
• Men's 100m Butterfly
• Women's 400m Freestyle
• Women's 200m Individual Medley
• Men's distance races

 

Athletics:

• Both 100m
• Men's 1500m
• Both hammer throw events
• Men's Decathlon
• Both 400m

 

Other:

• Road races
• Triathlon
• Speed Climbing
• Men's basketball (Canada games)
• All track cycling races

I've taken those days off work so.... basically all the time 

[Dkats 298]

I will be staying up until 7am every night to watch everything 🤩

[Olympian1010 8,230]

I'll be working during the Games, so I'll watch select events live and catch up on everything else at some point.

 

I hope everyone else finds time to watch what they want to see though

Dont know, i work 8:00 - 16:00 brazilian time, i think just few things with feeedom.

 

But i will sign Globo play and watch on my mobile.

I took two weeks off in my work in order to watch entire Olympics, I even get free day in 26th July for which I didn't asked , so, I will try to watch as much as possible, Olympics are also the reason why I decided to not travel anywhere for vacations this summer

Think you needed to start your options at a higher number of hours.
